The Deacon's Bench
We don’t have to wait until Christmas for the Messiah after all:
Actor, comedian and singer Jamie Foxx caused a stir when he proclaimed President Obama a messiah as he spoke at the annual Soul Train Awards.
“It’s like church over here. It’s like church in here. First of all, give an honor to God and our Lord and Savior Barack Obama. Barack Obama,” to a cheering audience.
The show, which aired Sunday night, was taped in Las Vegas a few days after the president’s reelection. Foxx, a longtime comedian and actor whose credits include comedic television series “In Living Color” and motion pictures “Any Given Sunday,” “Ray” and “Ali,” stars in a soon-to-be-released movie written and directed by Quentin Tarantino called “Django Unchained.”
